ok, so i have reinstalled Flight Simulator and i found out that i forgot to take a backup of all the WoAI packages. And so im missing some companys that i would really like to have. So im asking if anyone of you got them stored on there computer, and would be kind enough to share them with me :) The packages im looking for is:- Delta Connection- Dnieproavia - Grand China Express - Air France by Brit Air - Air France by Regional - British Midland (BMI) - Flybe- Luxair - LOT - Polish Airlines - MALEV Hungarian Airlines - Austrian Arrows - US Airways Express - American Connection- American Connection - American Eagle- Northwest Airlink- Cimber Air - Midwest Connect- Aeromexico Connect- Air Canada Jazz- South African Express Airways - Air Nostrum- Lufthansa Regional- Scandinavian Airlines- Alitalia Express- Adria Airways- Federal ExpressIts basicly ever unavailable package from WoaI.Please help me out :)

A quote from the head man at WOAI -QUOTE Gentlemen, Ill say it once more.Distributing these packages does not help our case. So please refrain from doing that. If you have them you are lucky. If you don't then you'll will have to wait for the new versions.Rest assured that we are working on getting the withdrawn packages back into the sky as soon as we have decent replacement models and flightplans for them.Kind regards,Tom vd HorstWorld-of-AIend quoteYou may be able to find some "similar packages" for a few of the airlines in question at the Project AI Site.Otherwise one should really be patient and wait for WOAI to find models they can use for those that have been withdrawn. :(

Hmm ok.thank you :)

Whoops didn't read all of the above... I'm guessing i have to wait... Wish people wouldn't get all bent out of shape. I just don't get all the fuss behind offering a package then taking it back... I know its not WOAI fault but the Author... Really come on people don't let pride and greed get in the way...! Just my thoughts. To those who provide for our hobby thank you and Happy Holidays to all...!

I am kindly asking all those that keep emailing me asking for dis-continued WOAI files to please refrain for the same reason that Opa stated. Thank You

I hate to bump this topic, but I am still getting numerous PMs asking for discontinued WOAI files. As stated by WOAI, the discontinued files will be made available when replaced. I will not respond to any more requests on this subject. Thank You

Not here to start a war or anything but just curious. I don't see the big deal on sharing w/ someone a package that is free. Now when WoAI comes out w/ a new package then the person can decide to get it. I swear, its becoming more freakin political then a hobby everyday.

Well, you know just because something is non-commercial/freeware it doesn't mean it isn't owned by someone and isn't controlled. That being said, my personal opinion is that for freeware a comparatively non-restrictive license, such as suggested by "creative commons", is the most workable solution.In the case of WoAI, it is primarily a compilation of original works of others, and must pass on whatever license the authors request. Trying to halt distribution by third parties is probably hopeless, but sites which survive in part on maintaining the goodwill of authors whose works are made available in download libraries have some duty to at least make the effort.scott s..

It may be free, But the developer of a particular model requested that HIS models be removed from those packages that were pulled.And WOAI have very professionaly granted his wish. And also requested people not to share those packages.World of AI are working on getting them back.So it doesn't help there cause when people come on here requesting pulled packages because all they care about are themselves.Let them do it properly so we can all benefit.

I surely do understand the fact that some users would love to have the missing packages in their sim. If you look at the package descriptions here at avsim you can see we always use the following license form : Freeware, limited distributionThis means it is indeed freeware but there are some limitations in the distribution.You can find these limitations in every package readme and our end user license agreement:IMPORTANT NOTICE:THESE FILES MAY ONLY BE UPLOADED TO AVSIM or FLIGHTSIM.COM BY THE AUTHOR ONLY. THESE FILES MAY NOT BE UPLOADED TO ANY OTHER SITE WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S WRITTEN PERMISSION. THESE MODELS,REPAINTS AND FLIGHTPLANS ARE FREEWARE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OR PUT ON ANY SITE THAT CHARGES FOR DOWNLOADING FREE FILES. THE FILES FOUND IN THIS ARCHIVE MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED ON CD OR ANY MEDIUM FOR ANY KIND OF FEE, INCLUDING THE COST OF PRODUCTION, MATERIALS OR POSTAGE.THE MODELS,REPAINTS AND FLIGHTPLANS OWNERSHIP REMAIN WITH THE AUTHORS AS MENTIONED IN THE PACKAGEThe packages aren't withdrawn because we wanted to do that but out of respect to the wishes of the authors that allowed us the use of their models, repaints or flightplans.However, if we at WOAI would not try to stop this form of file sharing of removed packages we would show very little respect towards these wishes of our supporters.What it might cause is more supporters considering to revoke their permissions.We always make an agreement as WOAI with all our supporters that whenever a supporter revokes their permission we will be allowed 30 days to remove all the files that contain their work.We will live up to that promise on every occasion since the existence of WOAI is build on trust relationships.We will always announce this as soon as it is known that some files will be withdrawn.Then the users also have 30 days to get the file, back it up somewhere and wait for the new version.Please help us to respect the wishes of our supporters.Without these supporters WOAI would not exist.File sharing of packages that are withdrawn will only make efforts to get new permissions more difficult.Without getting the right permissions it might be impossible to create replacements for those withdrawn packages.
